Why Changing To VOIP Is Important For Business.
BT is phasing out ISDN and analogue telephone lines across the UK, with a full switch-off scheduled for December 2025. This means traditional landline services will no longer function, and businesses relying on them for voice communications, fax, alarms, or payment systems need to transition to digital alternatives.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the recommended replacement. It uses your internet connection to make and receive calls, offering several key advantages:
-
Cost Savings: VoIP typically offers lower call rates and no line rental fees.
-
Flexibility: Calls can be made from any internet-connected device, allowing remote and hybrid work setups.
-
Scalability: Easily add or remove users as your business grows.
-
Advanced Features: Includes call forwarding, voicemail to email, video conferencing, and integration with CRM systems.
Businesses should act now to assess their telecom setup and begin the migration to VoIP to avoid disruption and take full advantage of modern communication tools. Speak to us now if you need to transition to a modern VOIP telephone solution with Aspect Business Communications
